Is this a real seizure?

I for one am glad I never sold my signature to them.

Now I hope all that did and there are many that did on Bitcointalk don't get in trouble.

Edit  I added this below:
I never used any mixer based on the idea that it was a way to get in trouble from governments. ie as some mentioned a honey pot

Yes, it's real by looks of it. Also referenced over here:

Looks like ChipMixer was seized...

On 15 March, national authorities took down the infrastructure of the platform for its alleged involvement in money laundering activities and seized four servers, about 1909.4 Bitcoins in 55 transactions (approx. EUR 44.2 million) and 7 TB of data.

Those mixed coins received from signature might well need to be mixed elsewhere now!
